Gallery: Colorful Home Exteriors and Interiors That Remind Us of Spring

Easter is this Sunday, which means it has to be spring by now, right? Let’s hope so. In honor of this marker for warmer days to come here are some homes with livelier than average exteriors, and some with interiors that simply remind us of spring (or Easter, if you celebrate that). Enjoy!

Shades of pink may be less prominent during Valentine's Day (that job seems to belong to the color red), but they definitely have their moment during the Easter season. This home happens to flaunt the color from the outside, all three floors of it!

Windsor and S. 47th streets

You'll find this set of lively-hued homes in between Cedar Park and Squirrel Hill in West Philly.

Priced at nearly $8 million, this Franch manor-styled residence has a distinctly pink and green living room. And judging by the size of the property (less than 6 acres), egg hunts could probably last for a good chunk of time.

Germantown Avenue

Although interiors with darker tones might not have made it on the list, the light blue on the walls of this home's entryway earned it its spot. The living room has a similar color. (Note also the gold molding near the elevator.)

112 Elfreth's Alley

The country's oldest street also houses some of the more colorful of homes. We think these shutters give the home a warm vibe, what do you think?

Forget what I said about the pastel blue Haddonfield, NJ house. This home might be better suited for egg-painting: the back includes a pool house, outdoor pavilion, and clay pizza oven, which is sure to keep everyone around the festivities.

We're going to go with purple, although some might see blue-ish, but hey! That's the beauty of pastels! This interior comes from a renovated Fairmount home on a street whose name does not do the home's decor any justice.

Corner of Baltimore Ave. and S. 48th Street in Philadelphia, PA

West Philly is filled with colorful Victorian residences, this one included. It's just a matter of finding them and keeping them looking fresh!

The infamous Prince-ly Queen Village home was taken off the market a little while ago, but for a bit there we didn't think anyone would bite. Word has it the purple will be gone soon so just enjoy the violet vision for now.

Situated in West Mt. Airy, this Victorian twin house is described as "sun-drenched" in the listing. Personally, the first thing that comes to my mind are grandmothers--in a good way-- who keep jars of candy chocolate around for young relatives with a sweet tooth.
